ufeffAfter qualifying for the Super 4s, Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan expressed excitement about the upcoming Asia Cup matches, particularly those against India. Rizwan stated that he hopes to play a best-of-three series against India in the ongoing Asia Cup.
There is always pressure in front of everyone when India and Pakistan clash. This clash is anticipated by people all over the world. To everyone, the match between India and Pakistan feels like the final match. I believe we should keep this match as normal as possible. Pakistan is confident and ready to face any opponent, he added.
India and Pakistan are expected to finish first and second in the Super 4 stage, respectively, and to meet in the final. In a similar vein, Rizwan stated that his team is working hard to improve the game as his country demands. India and Pakistan qualified for the Super 4s from Group A, and both teams will face the other two teams from Group B, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, at least once.
Of course, we want to improve our game and work hard because our country expects it. Our current team members are putting in the time and effort. There is a sense of camaraderie, and we are attempting to meet the expectations of our country. And, as we all know, the outcome is entirely in the hands of the Almighty.
Earlier in the group stage, India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in a nail-biting match. The Men in Blue had bundled out their old opponents for 147 and then chased the target down with two balls to spare.
